I will try to keep up on these. It may not be daily and I will also probably be posting some trivia from the NFL as a whole. Good luck and have fun.

Note: These questions may change almost daily - or it could be every month or two. I will lock them as soon as I post the answer and then unsticky them a day or so later.

OK so here is the deal. Years ago I found an LA Rams Trivia Game in a Goodwill. I pretty much bought it as a piece of memorabilia. Now with the Rams moving back, I thought it might make for a fun game for some of us old timers. Odd thing is that about 70% of the questions have nothing to do with the Rams.

So here is what I will do. I will post the questions that are Rams related and let you guys answer. I will then post the answers the next day. These are not easy questions as far as I can tell but maybe the memory function of my brain has been compromised.

There is only basically one rule. No search engines or internet sites to look up answers that you will post later. I realize some will still look up the answers. I know I would if I didn't have the cards. But I want to see how many out there actually know the answers. So if you do feel like looking them up on the internet, feel free.

And if you know the answer, don't post it. Comment all you want.

Now - keep in mind. I said the internet is off limits. But if you have books, magazines, football cards, etc... feel free to use them. That may seem hypocritical but it's about time some of us got some use out of all that stuff we've bought over the years.

Cheers.

Farr be it for me to miss this one....with yours truly. :cool: ...three decades apart. He was class of '54, and I was class of '83. (Ironically, '83 was his first year as Rams coach)….:(.....oh wait, you meant someone FAMOUS?

I know this one only because I have always thought of John as a Grandfather to me.

I also remember hearing that he went to HS with Madden. Or I'm fucking confused again. One or the other is right. Maybe both.

Betting that I'm wrong because I'm young enough to be Robinson's great-granddaughter...but I'm taking my shot anyway. :p

2nd worst trade in the history of baseball as the California Angeles sent Jim Fregosi to the New York Metropolitans for a young wild heat throwing phenom by the name of Nolan Ryan.

I saw a tv show or YouTube clip on Robinson seems like 6 months ago or so, and he does have a lifelong friend. I think I recall it being John Madden!

It is Madden that is his life-long friend. I sent a great video to Stu, with Robinson telling some funny stories from one of my high school functions honoring Robinson, (he is introduced by Lynn Swann) maybe he can post when he is ready to list the answers. (Not saying Madden is the answer to the bonus question.) I may actually be closer to the right answer than Madden. :sneaky:

My grandparents on my mothers side lived in Daly City for decades. I lived there as a child for a few years while my father was finishing his PhD.

I went to K and part of 1st grade there until the family moved to Ohio.

I have the exact same jacket Robinson used to wear on the sidelines. Blue and yellow with the script Los Angeles Rams. I bought it in the late 80's and only wear it during winning seasons. Its still pretty new with that. Although I expect it to get a lot of wear in the future. (y)

Still have mine.....Still remember when it was delivered to my apartment in Dayton Ohio (4942A Westmoreland Court) in the Summer of 86...And it still fits, even is loose, albeit in the shoulders.
